Washington, Auirust 4. ? Leaders of the two old parties
in the capital todSy expressed neither surprise nor concern
over the endorsement of the LaI''ollet,te-\\?heeler ticket by
I lu' convention of t he American Federation of Labor. They
say tlie action was both expected and discounted.
The old line politicians take ;
the position that the labor
loaders are not able to deliver
the labor vote and that mem
bers of the unions all over the
country will vote according to
their regular party affilia
tions or according to their
personal inclinations. They
s.iy this always ha's been the
case in the past and there is
no reason to look for a re
versal of the usual order this
year.
Republicans recalled the fact
'Iti ill ;i nimilHT of tho- moat |inn?
inent labor leaders of the country
cunio out for the Democratic tick
et In 1J20. Yet every labor cen
ter. In llio country rolled up a
huge majority for Hurdlng and
Coo1ld^?'. l?ahor wan t uld at tliat
time that the "Interests" behind
llardinu nnd Cool id go meant ua
ltii? the bayonet and tho Injunc
tion in any lahor disputes that
might arise. Mr. Coolldge was
Just out of the police Ktrlke at
Ronton and had been re-elected
governor of Massachusetts on
what his followers called a "law
nnd order" platform but which
the unions interpreted. as an anti
labor declaration. Qovernor Cox
of Ohio, the Democratic Presiden
tial candidate, had been declared
fnir to labor at all times. He had
refused to call out tho militia In
la.ber dl:?|iUt?*r. which he thought
COUjf* be settled by mediation, and
wh/'n proved to be the case.
Tho voting laborers listened to
none of the advice given them
apparently, but went to the polls
In nil their might and main for
the Republican ticket.
At Democratic headquarters It
was pointed out today that while
the so-called labor leaders have
been for LaFolletto from the be
glnnlnu of his proposed candi
dacy. the rank nnd file of labor
which had expressed Itself had
manifested n decided liking for
William (libhs McAdoo. This was
particularly true of the railroad
men. The brotherhood officers
bad been working for LaKollette
Ions before the" Democratic Na
tional Convention In New York
City had beer called to order, 't
wan well known to all who hi-d
probed the sentiment of the work
ers themselves, however, that
they were for McAdoo almost to
n man.
Senator LaFollette had accept
ed the nomination nevertheless
before Mr. McAdoo had dropped
out of the running at Madison
tiardea. Tho- railroad,
brotherhood chiefs, therefore,
would have been in rather an em
barrassing position had a sudden
.switch In sentiment carried the
California over tbe top for the
Democratic nomination.
These facts were recalled today
to stress the point made by tit
Democrats and Republicans that
there Is division this year as al
ways in the ranks of labor and
'that the vote will be apportioned '
tnion K the various Presidential
candidates along natural lines.
Nationally the labor vote is re- '
gnrded much as the woman vote |
hrfs been. There was some per- j
turlmtlon when women first were
enfranchised to vote for Presi
dential elector#. Hut the politi
cian? from the states where wo
fleers for a great many years. 1
stilled all fenrs by saying that the ?
female vote would follow the
male vote, dividing Itself In such
s manner as to cause no particu
lar upset. The women of the
country have proved that they do
n<d and will not vote en bloc. I?a- :
bor. nationally, never has voted In
that manner and tbe old party
leaders profess to believe It oan- ;
n,>t l?e so delivered this year.
Thrf progressives, on the other
XBlllI. claim the rttnatton ?? d?f-i
f- rent from any which has eon
fretrfed labor in the past. They I
fta>l|b? present movement and the ;
present candidates are calculated
appeal far more effectually to

rail : point this year. Most of
the lime It has had what the I^a
ivillctte followers call a "choice
%H..*ilV' as between the Republi
sh and Democratic tickets and In
sncb circumstances It was natural
for lahor tn^dlvlde along more or
less partisan lines. The progress- ,
Ive ticket has been endorsed as a
combination of a "progressive In- I
dependent Republican and a pro- ;
areselve Independent Democrat."
Therefore H srgned that both ,

White St* ril Company has Just coin-'
jdeted a mosaic <le?lK>i for Ills
store that is uuu.sual. effective,
and indeed a work of arl in its
way.
Instead of using tiny bits of
stones or glass as the old masters^
did, Mr. White used six varieties
of beans and peas. The rich col
or* tone into tli?* design as har
moniously as did the cAlurn of the
stone and glass, and Indeed pro
duce a decidedly similar effect.
There is the cream of a small
beun seed. a black, a rich almost
Pompelou toil, n dull green, and
a purple and the colors are so In
mingled thiit the trade mark
"It. W. Quality Mark" stands out
iu riffeelive relief.
The design was first d;aurn. of
course, upon u very heavy sheet"
of paper, then treated with a coal
-of ? glu<v - and. -Lite si'fsla ..were*
placed upon the wet glue where
they siitlid themselves perma
nently when the glue dried. " A
coat of varnish was applied to
make the deHlgn weevil proof, and
It may now lie seen in the window
of the lluxton White Company.
Kverybody bell ves that It must
be going to the District Fair, but
Mr, White doesn't say.
The design Is about three feet
square ami several thousand seeds
were used in- the making.
